Popular culture matters. Rangbaazi is the dominating culture in large swathes of the Ganga belt. Guns have glamour and goons power.

In this @DailyO_ piece, I argue why this culture is the curse of the region and must be flattened like #VikasDubey's house

#VikasDubey is on the road, with armed security, as gotta travel all night. He must be wishing it was day time. It's the longest bleedin' night of his life.

I didn't foresee it. You foresaw it too. Like we can predict a morning every night, you too knew the sequence of events. You can only blame me for writing that yesterday

Sing as you please

Gangsta don't care about the law
Police don't care about the law
Heck, the law. Don't care. About the law

Law law law, khol ke poori bottle
Law law law, engine ko do throttle
Law law law, Safari palat gayi
Law law law, gaddi road se hat gayi

Law law law, jaag re murga jaag
Law law law, bhaag sake to bhaag
Law law law, sadak ke neeche reyt
Law law law, punter ho gaya khet
Law law law, counter hua janaab
Law law law, barabar hua hisaab
Law law law, kya maangegi jawaab
Law law law, Babasaheb ki kitaab

Stop it, guys! No secrets #VikasDubey could reveal. No beans he could spill. No politicians he could expose.

These things are not a secret. This is UP. No conspiracy there.

This is revenge. Ensured it looked like one. Hence a weak escape story, lest it should look authentic

Childish to believe he could reveal his political links to police so he was killed. The police knew everything about his links that's why they could do fuckall to him all this while. He killed cops, cops took revenge. Yo UP hai pradhan, yahan secret nahin hota. #VikasDubey

Encounter, there are two kinds of

1. Made to look so authentic so that nobody can claim it's fake

2. Made to look so fake that nobody can doubt it's not

The 2nd is pure shiver for the gangsta spine. 100% chutzpah, 0% lantarani
